Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.04
Gnome 2.26.1
Kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
metacity 2.25.144
Reproduction of bug:
1) Workspace Switcher initially has 4 Columns and 1 Row.
2) I keep nautilus file browser open on Workspace 1
3) I keep firefox open on Workspace 3
4) Now change Workspace Switcher preferences from 1 row to 2 rows. So that
makes 4 Columns and 2 Rows.
5) Use Expo to navigate to Workspace 5 (6,7, or 8), i.e. any workspace on Row 2.
6) Change the Workspace Switcher preferences from 2 rows back to 1 row. That
makes it 4 Columns and 1 Row.
What happened: The nautilus and firefox appear to have disappeared, but
they are just way up on the screen (The window edge is sometimes
noticeable in the Workspace Switcher). This gives the impression to the
user that the applications have been closed. Changing preferences of
Workspace Switcher back to 2 rows from 1 row helps get back the open
applications.
What should have happened: The open applications should have seamlessly
been transferred to active Workspaces, giving the user the impression
that Workspace Switcher was smart enough to manage workspaces.
Very trivial bug for experienced ubuntu users, but new users will feel
that the system crashed.
